A Tii "list looking young man snt in one ot the cushioned chairs In tlie Michigan Exi'liiiiijtt' office yesterday pouring over a smull outline engraviliír full of Inti cacles and resembllnsf 8 uiiewliHt tlie ciits in buoka on medicine and suigeiy. lic-iilc 1) i ni sut a cillow yonth with a standing collar which protruded atiove tlie lobes of his ears and a pair of aoldrhnmetl eye glassea. They were evideutlv strungers, and he of the liiuh collar and eye-glagses regarded the slip of paper In li is neighbor's hand with u fnrtive interest wliich was at leDglh hrokeu by ilie other Uxikintf up and catchhig lus eye. The cfcllow youtli looketl :it his coinpanidii and remarked, laqnirimgly : "Adii Arbnr or Detroit? " The person iddnMMd looked puzzled, hesitated tor a moment, and then repooded, "Dttrolt," "First or seconrt year ? " The puzzled look deepened, and tin illy the reply cauie. "l've be-n here oUly ix montlis. " "Ah," nld the interlooutor, tuking on a patronizing tone. "You've not liad time to get very well up in utmtomv. Now, they say I am ibe best riemonstiator in our clnss - Aun Arbnr, you know, 8eond yr." AikI with this the spe ikcr reached out for the slip wliich the other ,-lill held in his haml.
